Press Secretary Dee Dee Myers plunked herself down in David Gergen's basement office in the West Wing last Monday night and laid out her problem. Just hours before, Clinton had named Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court, but then abruptly ended a press conference when Brit Hume of ABC News nettled the President with a question about his tortured selection process. Myers told Gergen that she expected the morning to bring good economic news, and was looking for a way to capitalize on that story and make the Rose Garden incident history.

The lurch to the left is like the "stab in the back" invented by right-wing Germans after World War I: an instant myth designed to discredit all one's political enemies in one fell swoop. Ask anyone who hangs out in left field -- columnists for the Nation, for instance, or resident thinkers at Washington's Institute for Policy Studies -- and they'll tell you there hasn't been any lurching in their direction. A few tentative little steps perhaps -- abolition of the "gag rule" on abortions, the signing of the "motor voter...
